My Ride: 07' 530d - M-Sport - Titanium Silver / Black Dakota leather

200000mls is 321869kms, thats much... very much. I've never kept a BMW over 80000kms. I think it's around there it loses it's 'new car feeling'. The current one will go after 58000kms, while it's still worth a little money. I don't doubt it will run like a clock for much longer than that.

200 k?
I'm at 72k, and it just started to loosen up. 400k should not be a problem at all.
It might need a few new injectors and such, but apart from that it shouldn't be a problem.

Is the computer that doesn't last and often are the most expensive parts to replace on the car.

Ach..., what you need to do is to kiss your car in the morning before driving off to work, and then give it a real hug when it's time for bed. Nothing beats kissing 'n cuddling when it comes to maintenance of a woman's love!

Thats worrying. Do you mean it won't handle or be as composed as BMW's are when new?
